Chapter 565

"Having more friends means having more options! Don't you understand that? Here you go!" Doctor Feng handed her the jade pendant without further ado.

"Alright, I'm busy, you should go now, it's getting late and it'll be hard to travel."

Yunxi had no choice but to accept the jade pendant: "My father is still here, so please drink less."

Doctor Feng was delighted: "Girl, you even know to leave an old man a drinking companion!"

Yunxi walked away expressionlessly.

As she stepped out of the clinic, Zhong Jie looked at the jade pendant, then turned back to look at the clinic, and couldn't help but sigh.

The Imperial Physician readily granted the favor; this old man seemed like a decent person.

"Xi'er, let's go."

"......Um."

——

The two returned to the inn and saw a convoy of cars parked in front of it.

Although those people were dressed as ordinary citizens, their every move was very disciplined, as if they came from the army.

Seeing them return, Madam Chen came to greet them: "Everything is packed, let's go."

"good."

The three of them rode in one carriage together, while Jixiang Le'an got into the same carriage as Mother Shui. The caravan set off towards Luoyang.

The caravan did not follow the official road route, but instead traveled in a straight line at a high speed. At dusk, they arrived at a town, where Huo Shu had already arranged for someone to book an inn, and the group checked in.

As night falls, the lights of the city come on one by one, and then go out one by one as the night deepens.

In the midst of the silence, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly rang out, moving at a great speed, almost without any pause, as they passed through the city.

Jing Yuan had obvious dark circles under his eyes. He looked at Shen Rang ahead, who was only focused on hurrying along. He moved his lips for a moment, but in the end, he didn't say anything to persuade him to rest.

Yesterday, the people Shen Rang had arranged to stay in Jizhou returned to Luoyang, but they were seriously injured and barely clinging to life.

He said that someone had attacked Yunxi.

After saying that, he fainted.

Shen Rang immediately abandoned everything in Luoyang and rode swiftly to Jizhou.

But Jingyuan knew he couldn't make it in time.

Shen Rang may not have been unaware of this, but he insisted on going, so Jing Yuan had no choice but to follow.

For two days in a row, Shen Rang changed horses one after another, traveling day and night without stopping for a moment.

I've managed to hold on until now only because of sheer willpower.

If he arrives in Jizhou and learns that Yunxi is gone, I'm afraid Shen Rang will not be able to return to Luoyang.

Jing Yuan sighed, his gaze growing even more resolute.

Fortunately, he ate well along the way and had plenty of energy. If Shen Rang really couldn't think straight, he would bring Shen Rang back no matter what!

The sound of horses' hooves did not disturb anyone's peaceful slumber.

The next day, after getting ready, everyone continued on their journey.

Yunxi hadn't slept well last night for some reason; she couldn't fall asleep or wake up. When she woke up this morning, she was in very poor spirits and leaned on Madam Chen's shoulder as soon as she got into the carriage, refusing to get up.

She was comfortable, but Madam Chen felt uneasy because of the naked envy in Zhong Jie's eyes.

After a while, Madam Chen used the excuse of sore shoulders to push Yunxi into Zhong Jie's arms.

Zhong Jie carefully adjusted her position to make Yunxi sleep more peacefully.

Finally, she gave Madam Chen a grateful look.

Madam Chen also smiled.

The smile was tinged with sadness and a touch of melancholy.

This child has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
